Description
Gizmo, a cute and fuzzy “Mogwai,” spawns a legion of vicious, reptilian gnomes at Christmastime. Soon, a small town is besieged by hordes of gremlins, smoking cigars, wielding chainsaws, and...watching Disney movies. Funny and anarchically inspired, this Spielberg produced anti-E.T., was one of the most successful films of the 1980s. Director Dante will introduce this screening of an alternate cut of Gremlins, which features 6 minutes more of footage not seen in its original release version!
